You know, there's always some killer lines that are sticked into your head all day long or for many days. Here you can share the lyrics, joyful or sad, that you often have suddently in mind.

The last few days i often had in mind:

"I made it in town somehow
But who's gonna save me now?
I'm out of my element
I can't breathe
I'm out of my element"

- Mountain Goats on Heretic Pride

"You got to let people be hypocrites
Count your blessings and mind your business"
Atmosphere "Like the Rest of Us"

Cool thread.

"You have to be trusted,
by the people that you lie to...
so that when they turn their back on you...
you get the chance to PUT THE KNIFE IN".

-David Gilmore, Pink Floyd, "Dogs"

As a clergyman who has dealt with a lot of dying people, and some with AIDS, the lyric from Springsteen's "Philadelphia" haunted me with what it must feel like to have such an illness coursing through your body:
"the blood in my veins, black and wispy as the rain on the streets of Philadelphia".

"Don't cross him, don't boss him
He's wild with his sorrow
Ridin' and hidin' his pain
Don't fight him, don't spite him
Just wait 'till tomorrow
Maybe he'll ride on again"

- Willie Nelson's "Red Headed Stranger"

"What's with all the handsome grandsons
In these rock band magazines?
What have they done with the fat ones,
The bald and the goteed?"

Silver Jews' "Strange Victory, Strange Defeat"

This is a great song for middle age, believe me!

"I'm weary and I'm staying up late, and rain hits the roof so hard;
you know I'm no longer thirty these days and I'm happy to play one or two hands of cards.
I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing, disturbing the peace I've found,
fortune and fame so fleeting these days,
I'm happy to say I'm amazed that I'm still around"
(Weight of the World by Elton John "Peachtree Road)

Thats a good one Rikard.

get back in your hole, get dead, son
get back in your hole, get bent
crawl under a rock and get lost, boy
crawl under a rock, get fucked

get out of those shoes and grow wings, dear
get out of those shoes and grow wings

fall over yourself and break heads, kid
fall over yourself and break heads
crawl out of your skin takes time, pal
crawl out of your skin takes time

get out of those shoes and grow wings, dear
get out of those shoes and grow wings
